Book excerpt: "Functional food sources are becoming popular and more researched because they are exceptionally nutritious and have various amazing medical advantages. For instance, they might ensure against infection, prevent supplement deficiency, and advance appropriate health development and improvement. This new volume explores the role of functional food applications in prevention and management of various diseases, including diabetes, ASD (autism spectrum disorder), obesity, microbial infections, ulcers, mental disorders, cardiac health, bone health, and more. The volume begins with an introduction and overview along with an explanation of the classifications of functional foods. It also looks at the consumer market for functionals. The authors go on to discuss using bioactive compounds in the prevention, management, or treatment of a number of diseases and health issues, with illustrative case studies. They look at the role of functional foods in the management of ASD, in the prevention and management of cancer, and in weight loss and to reduce or control obesity. They also consider the role of functional foods in general overall brain health, for brain development, in signalling networks and neurotransmitters within the brain for cognition memory, as well as in the treatment and prevention of psychotic disorders. The volume also looks at how some food products help to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood lipid levels, improving arterial compliance, lowering low-density lipid oxidation, decreasing plaque formation, and inhibiting platelet aggregation when consumed in sufficient amounts on a regular basis. Other chapters cover functional foods to prevent and fight microbial infection and gastric ulcers. This volume will be of interest and use to professional food scientists, nutritionists and dieticians, academicians researching food engineering problems, and graduate-level students in related fields"--

Book excerpt: Functional foods and nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and natural antioxidants have established their potential roles in the protection of human health against disease. Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods in Human Health and Disease Prevention examines the benefits, efficacy, and success of properly designed nutraceuticals and functional foods in human health and their possible application in disease prevention. The book demonstrates diverse disease pathophysiology and how nutraceuticals and functional food can be used to combat and prevent disease. The book discusses global food habits and trends, safety and toxicology, and how food addiction or overindulgence of food can lead to a variety of disease states. It then highlights how supplements help in disease prevention. Although a significant number of nutraceuticals and functional foods have demonstrated their efficacy, a large number of supplements are still surviving on false claims. Therefore, the editors underscore risks and benefits, and why government regulatory agencies are so critical of these nutraceutical supplements. With the global nutraceuticals market expected to reach $204.8 billion by 2017, what once seemed a very niche sector has become big business. An overview of nutraceuticals and functional foods and their application in human health, this book exhaustively covers antioxidants, functional foods, and nutraceuticals in human health and disease prevention. With contributions from experts and pioneers, the book gives insight into the role of functional foods in optimal diet and exercise.
